How to Login to OrbitWiFi / OrbitRange Extender (Using orbitloginnet)
Setting up your OrbitWiFi or OrbitRange Extender may seem confusing at first, but once you understand the steps, the process becomes very simple. You don’t need any technical knowledge. All you need is your extender, a phone or laptop, and this easy guide. By the end of this blog, you will be able to log in to your Orbit extender without any trouble.
1. Start with the Basics
Before you try to log in, make sure your OrbitRange or OrbitWiFi extender is powered on and working.
- Plug the extender into a wall socket
- Wait for the power light to turn stable
- If the light keeps blinking for a long time, unplug it and plug it back in
- A stable power light means the device is ready for setup or login.
2. Connect Your Phone or Laptop to the Orbit Extender Network
To log in, you first need to connect your device to the extender’s WiFi network.
Every OrbitWiFi or OrbitRange extender has a default network name. You can find it printed on the label at the bottom or back of the extender. Do this:
- Open WiFi settings on your mobile or laptop
- Look for a network name like Orbit_EXT, OrbitWiFi, or something similar
- Tap on it to connect
- Some models may have an open network, while others may ask for a default password printed on the label.
Once connected, you can continue to the login page.
3. Open Your Browser and Go to orbitloginnet
Now open your browser (Chrome, Safari, or Edge) and type:
- orbitloginnet or orbitlogin.net
- Press Enter.
- This will take you to the Orbit extender login page.
If the page doesn’t open, don’t worry — I’ll explain the fix in a moment.
Once the page loads, you will see a login screen asking for username and password.
4. Enter the Default Username and Password
Orbit extenders usually come with simple default login details. Most models use:
- Username: admin
- Password: admin
Sometimes the password may be printed on the label of the extender. If “admin” doesn’t work, check the sticker on your device.
Type the details and click Login.
This will take you to the extender’s main dashboard where you can manage settings.
5. If orbitloginnet Doesn’t Open – Try This
Sometimes the login page may not open. This is very common and easy to fix. Here are a few quick solutions:
A. Use the IP address instead
Instead of typing orbitloginnet, type:
- 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.10.1
Most Orbit extenders use one of these IPs for setup.
B. Make sure you are connected to the Orbit network
If you are connected to your main home WiFi instead of the Orbit extender network, the login page will not open. Switch to the Orbit network and try again.
C. Restart the extender
Unplug the device, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in.
D. Clear your browser cache
Sometimes your browser saves old redirects. Clearing the cache fixes it.
One of these steps usually solves the issue.
6. Change the Default Login Password (Very Important)
Once you log in, the first thing you should do is change the default password. Keeping “admin” as your password is not safe, because anyone can guess it. Do this:
- Go to Settings
- Select Administrator Password or System Password
- Enter a new password that only you know
- Save the changes
- Your extender will restart or refresh the page after saving.
7. Connect the Extender to Your Home WiFi
After logging in, the next step is linking the extender to your main WiFi network.
- Go to Wireless Setup or WiFi Setup
- Select your home WiFi name from the list
- Enter your WiFi password
- Save the settings
- The extender will now repeat or boost your home network signal.
8. Reconnect Your Phone to the New Boosted Network
Once the extender connects to your main WiFi, it will create a new extended network. It may look like:
- HomeWiFi_EXT or Orbit_EXT_New
Go to your WiFi settings and connect your phone or laptop to this extended network. Enter your original WiFi password if required.
Now should have stronger WiFi signals in the previously weak areas.
9. What If the Login Page Keeps Showing an Error?
Here are a few more quick fixes:
- Try using a different phone or laptop
- Reset the extender using the reset button (press for 10 seconds)
- Make sure your internet is working normally
- Resetting solves most stubborn problems by giving the extender a fresh start.
Final Thoughts
Logging in to your OrbitWiFi or OrbitRange Extender is a simple job once you know the right steps. Connect to the default Orbit network, open orbitloginnet, enter the default login details, and adjust your settings. If the login page doesn’t open, using the IP address usually fixes it instantly.
With everything set up, your extender will help you enjoy stronger and more stable WiFi throughout your home.
